Answer to Question 1

Though holding and shifting the focus are linked, they should be considered separately in the leader's mind because they serve different functions. By holding the focus on a person, topic, or activity, the group continues to do the same thing and stay with what is happening. When the leader thinks that a change is necessary, then shifting the focus should be considered. Shifting the focus could take the group in many different directions, and the leader has to decide whether it would be more valuable for the group to hold the focus where it is or shift it and move on.
